Advantages of Propane

Lower utility costs, make your home more comfortable and reduce your impact on the environment all at once? You bet!

Affordable

On average, propane costs about half as much per BTU as electricity and propane gas fireplaces cost 30 to 60 percent less per hour of operation than do wood burning fireplaces.

Reliable

By relying on propane for various applications in your home, including heating and power for your appliances, you’re lessening your dependence on the electric grid in the event of an electric power outage. With propane you can still have heat, hot water and hot food during outages even in the worst of weather conditions.

Made in America

Over 90 percent of the propane used in America is made in the U.S., reducing our dependence on foreign oil.

Warmer

On average, a propane heating system is 20 degrees warmer compared to electric heat pumps that dispense cooler air.

Efficient

With propane you get more hot water from your tankless water heater because it recovers 2½ times faster than an electric one, and it costs about 30 percent less to operate. You can reheat a whole tankful of water in just 20 minutes with propane, compared to an hour with electricity!

Available

Convenient and portable, propane is an energy source that can be used virtually anywhere, from the country to the city.

Environmentally Friendly

Propane creates far less pollution than the power plants supplying you with electricity, so you help protect the environment by providing cleaner, more breathable air. It is also insoluble in water so it presents no risk to soil and ground water supplies.

Easier to Maintain

Propane gas furnaces last an average of 20 years, while electric heat pumps last an average of 14 years. It also costs less to repair a propane gas furnace than an electric heat pump.
